Oh, the memories. I used to visit a local model railroad hobby shop like that back in the 70's. The owner was a telegrapher for the then BN on graveyard, so he was open in the late morning, early afternoon. He worked Stampede Pass at one time, and had some beautiful steam pictures from there during snow storms. At least one of them even made it into print in hardbound books. He had health issues, so he took an early quit and closed shop.
